The correct option is D nonsense
‘Trash’ means waste material or garbage. The best fit as the meaning of the answer is Option D, ‘nonsense’.
Nonsense means which doesn’t make any sense or is rubbish. The context of the sentence
is that man transformed courtyard into junkyard and whatever was there is like garbage, making no sense. Option A ‘ugly’ means not beautiful or
attractive. Option B ‘baseless’ means unconfirmed. Option C ‘splendid’ means impressive
and grand. So, the best fit is Option D, ‘nonsense’ and other options A, B and
c are incorrect here.
